LIT (Leaders in Training)

You're never too old for summer camp! This camp gives older children (ages 11-14) the opportunity to grow as a total person --spirit, mind and body--while still learning new things, making new friends and of course, having fun! Campers spend their track time developing their leadership skills through a variety of character-building projects, hands-on activities and team-building exercises, many of which the campers will decide themselves. LITs will enhance their leadership skills and gain some real work experience by helping camp counselors, program staff, and volunteering in the local community. All LITs are required to complete an application and interview process.
